This is a disappointing turn of events. While I disagreed strongly with the propriety of Mr. Butani's allegation, it was clearly an opinionated letter, not an editorial position of Raise the Hammer, and RTH ought to be no more liable for its contents than any letter to the editor the Spectator runs (and they publish plenty of views I think are hideous and harmful)*. Certainly it doesn't warrant a threat of legal action against Ryan & Cal. A polite phone call to from Mr. Dreschel to Mr. Butani would have been a good start.

*Despite this, I am aware that the SCC has ruled publishers are legally responsible for publishing defamatory material (although IANAL either).
